The rhythm and tune of Fire Chal Matir Tane had turned into lively and colourful at the auditorium where there was a presentation on six seasons by songs. The songs represented all moments of the nature at a time. In the presentation, there were yells of boatmen, tunes of Bhatiali by the farmers, Ajan of Moajjin, 'Ulu' sound from the temples and reflections of sorrow and happiness of farmers' wives represented the Bengali culture.
